The 40-18032 choke should work appropriately for most Marshall applications but we may consider offering a U frame version sometime in the future.

anything that saves me space is a plus.

F.Y.I. I hereby want to let you know about some of our upcoming Marshall offerings coming to ClassicTone this November as follows:

- JCM 900 PT & OT

- Upright Mounted, 18W Marshall Style PT with multi-national voltages (great for builders / DIY guys )

- JTM 45 / JTM 50 / Early 50W JMP multi-purpose & upgrade PT. This will feature the best, cool running and high performance M-6 steel, supply 120 / 240 V and will be usable for both solid state and tube rectification applications.

Please follow us on Facebook for frequent updates on these as well as other ClassicTone products at http://www.facebook.com/pages/ClassicTo ... ref=search" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For the record, I've built 4 100-watt non-master Plexish amps using the MC 100-watt Marshall sets with no issuses. They do get hot, but that issue's been put to rest by MC themselves! I get about 480 on the plates, which sags down to about 390 with max signal. No red plating, and no glowing screen grids with 1k screen grid resistors. I was calculating 12 watts max dissipation on the screens, but still no glow, this was with JJ KT77s, JJ EL34s, and JJ E34L (I live near Eurotubes )

Unfortuantely, using a 100-watt PT with the 50-watt OT caused pretty severe screen glow (did not leave them in long enough to see if they would fail), which was only curable by raising the screen grid resistors to 2k. This lowered output, and increased compression. Switching to 6L6GC (tried JJs, Sovtek, and Winged C) made the screen glow cease, which I attribute to the 6L6s lower screen current draw, and more robust construction overall, mostly by design (sorry El34 fans ). The screen grids were still dissipating 12 watts max like the 100-watt, but were glowing away. I think there may be something I'm missing there... Either way, the 100-watt PT did not sag enough with only a 50-watt output section. Next time I'll be using the 50-watt PT. Always learning something!

I should also mention that the tubes that glowed in the 50-watt with the 100-watt PT would glow in the 100-watt, however new tubes put straight into the 100-watt would not glow under any signal conditions. The 100-watt setup is still very hard on the screens, but only glowed after I'd shocked the poor tubes in the setup with the 100-watt PT.

Hope that's useful to some of you.

And BTW, the transformers sound just wonderful!!! I'd love to see the JCM, JMP transformers with a 5v tap like the JTMs.

Hi Gaz,

Great to hear that the 100W Plexi's PT appear to work well. As mentioned earlier, we have made a major change on the newest production run of these to make them run approximately 20 degrees cooler by using two wire sizes larger and without increasing the price (see http://www.classictone.net/40-18024.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). We are also offering two upgrade versions of this part and one is a laydown style mounting and one is an upright mounted version with M-6 steel and will run significantly cooler yet still as well as a few other additional features. Please see the following for information on these:

You did mention you mismatched the 50W OT and 100W PT with bad results. Yes, these are not meant to be used with each other. The proper pairings are as follows:

For 50W JCM 800 & JMP:

For 100W JCM 800 & JMP:

http://www.classictone.net/40-18024.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (you can also use 40-18053 & the laydown 40-18046)


Also, thank you so much for the compliment that these sound wonderful! Furthermore, thanks for the suggestion for a version of these with the 5V tap. We actually have one in development right now that is our new ClassicTone part number 40-18054. It is a laydown JTM 50 style PT as well as JTM 45's and early JMP's type applications. It will have both solid state and tube rectification options and will have a few other features such as dual 120/240 primary voltages and M-6 steel. This will be available late this November. We may consider a nice upright version of this as well.

Thank you Gaz for buying ClassicTone! Your business is appreciated!

Ordered two more 100 watters for a high gain thing.
My new Hybrid 100 (lead channel by Cameron) has the 100 watter marshall replacement in it.

cant wait to do a high gain with all Magnetic corp.

Are you guys going to be upgrading wire on all of the PT's in the line? I just bought a 50W Plexi project amp that has your OT in it and it sounds really good. I was thinking about building another 50W but wondered about the M6 and upgraded wire.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Briango,

We do have a 50W laydown style PT coming very soon that will be an upgrade and have M-6 steel and can be used in JTM 45, JTM 50 and 50W Plexi applications and it's part number will be 40-18054. We just completed winding these and will be available in a couple of weeks.

We will seriously consider an upgrade version of the current 50W PT as well with upgraded features. Would you and others like to see us introduce such an item? I would still highly suggest giving our current 50W upright mounted PT part number 40-18023 a try now anyways. I have heard only good things about it and the price is right at $61.33 each. It is a great seller. See info per the link below:

Thank you sir for your interest in our ClassicTone transformers!

I usually try new stuff on some test amps I keep around and I would try the new transformers if they were available. I prefer stuff that is a little "overbuilt" so I would like the heavier ga. wire and M6. I usually buy Heyboer, but I have been happy with your stuff in a recent build and will try a new set in my next one very soon. Thanks for the quick response...always nice to have great vendor support.

Brian

[ClassicTone]

Thanks Briango!

We intend to keep introducing new items frequently and offer many more variations of the classic Marshall transformers as well as others such as Fender, Vox, Leslie, Valco, etc. Most of our concentration now is for the builder such as yourself and are listening to your desires for new product. We believe we should be able to offer many more varieties than Heyboer and others now and at very reasonable prices. Also, all of these items are available from stock from either our distributors in smaller quantity or from us directly in larger quantity. Thanks again!

I live near the Chicago area, NW Indiana. Do you have facilties for walk in business or could an order be placed and picked up locally?

[ClassicTone]

Since we are a manufacturing location and not a storefront, we do not typically have walk in business or allow order pickups. Although, if you order 25 pieces or more per item, we may be able to make some sort of arrangement for your pickup assuming you are an OEM or reseller.

For smaller quanitities, you may be able to arrange an order pickup from one of our distributors, Triode Electronics which is located in the Chicago area as well. I am not sure if they allow pickups so please contact them for more information at 772-427-8823 or Questions@TriodeElectronics.com.

Triode allows pickups but you have to order off of their website first.
